In this paper, we investigate the index coding problem in the presence of an eavesdropper. Messages are to be sent from one transmitter to a number of legitimate receivers who have side information about the messages, and share a set of…
This paper considers the problem of single-server Individually-Private Information Retrieval with side information (IPIR). In this problem, there is a remote server that stores a dataset of $K$ messages, and there is a user that initially…
Index coding achieves bandwidth savings by jointly encoding the messages demanded by all the clients in a broadcast channel. The encoding is performed in such a way that each client can retrieve its demanded message from its side…
In Pliable Private Information Retrieval (PPIR) with a single server, messages are partitioned into $\Gamma$ non-overlapping classes. The user wants to retrieve a message from its desired class without revealing the identity of the desired…
This paper proposes a novel achievable scheme for the index problem and applies it to the caching problem. Index coding and caching are noiseless broadcast channel problems where receivers have message side information.In the index coding…
In this paper, we study the multi-server setting of the \emph{Private Information Retrieval with Coded Side Information (PIR-CSI)} problem. In this problem, there are $K$ messages replicated across $N$ servers, and there is a user who…
We characterise the optimal broadcast rate for a few classes of pliable-index-coding problems. This is achieved by devising new lower bounds that utilise the set of absent receivers to construct decoding chains with skipped messages. This…
The index coding problem has been generalized recently to accommodate receivers which demand functions of messages and which possess functions of messages. The connections between index coding and matroid theory have been well studied in…
A single unicast index coding problem (SUICP) with symmetric neighboring interference (SNI) has equal number of $K$ messages and $K$ receivers, the $k$th receiver $R_{k}$ wanting the $k$th message $x_{k}$ and having the side-information…
We introduce the problem of private information delivery (PID), comprised of $K$ messages, a user, and $N$ servers (each holds $M\leq K$ messages) that wish to deliver one out of $K$ messages to the user privately, i.e., without revealing…
Molecular communication suffers from severe inter-symbol interference, which makes constrained coding essential for reliable transmission. Run-length-limited ISI-mitigation codes are attractive because they select low-weight constrained…
We study the problem of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) in the presence of prior side information. The problem setup includes a database of $K$ independent messages possibly replicated on several servers, and a user that needs to…
The groupcast index coding problem is the most general version of the classical index coding problem, where any receiver can demand messages that are also demanded by other receivers. Any groupcast index coding problem is described by its…
A multi-user private data compression problem is studied. A server has access to a database of $N$ files, $(Y_1,...,Y_N)$, each of size $F$ bits and is connected to an encoder. The encoder is connected through an unsecured link to a user.…
In this paper, we present a very important primitive called Information Checking Protocol (ICP) which plays an important role in constructing statistical Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) and Weak Secret Sharing (WSS) protocols. Informally,…
We consider a point-to-point communication scenario where the receiver maintains a specific linear function of a message vector over a finite field. When the value of the message vector undergoes a sparse update, the transmitter broadcasts…
Consider a communication scenario over a noiseless channel where a sender is required to broadcast messages to multiple receivers, each having side information about some messages. In this scenario, the sender can leverage the receivers'…
An index code for a broadcast channel with receiver side information is 'locally decodable' if every receiver can decode its demand using only a subset of the codeword symbols transmitted by the sender instead of observing the entire…
We study the role of coded side information in single-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR). An instance of the single-server PIR problem includes a server that stores a database of $K$ independently and uniformly distributed messages,…
This paper deals with scalar linear index codes for canonical multiple unicast index coding problems where there is a source with K messages and there are K receivers each wanting a unique message and having symmetric (with respect to the…
